  • On that note, all I can do

    is raise my mug into the air

    and say "3 cheers to SSC"

    and to all of those that care! 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Well, I don't quite have the erudite literary chops that you guys do:

    There once was a man named Jones,

    Who liked his SQL, "no bones."

    He started this site,

    'cause he felt 'twas right,

    And no one else had the stones.

    ( And it's "see-quell", not "ess-que-ell" 🙂 )

    Typical geek, can't stay away. I should know, I do the same thing here, even when away I check on things.

    I'd laugh at that - but I was coding SQL while watching the superbowl yesterday....:)

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
